Charles, Prince of Wales (Charles Philip Arthur George; born 14 November 1948) is the heir apparent to the British throne as the eldest son of Elizabeth II. He has been Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay since 1952, and he is the oldest and longest-serving heir apparent in British history.
He is also the longest-serving Prince of Wales, having held that title since 1958. Charles was born at Buckingham Palace as the first grandchild of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. He was educated at Cheam and Gordonstoun schools, which his father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, had attended as a child. Charles also spent a year at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar School in Victoria, Australia.
“Royals’ Health Battles Shouldn’t Be Brought To Screen,” Says ‘The Crown’ Star Gillian Anderson
deadline.comOne of the stars of The Crown believes the show should not be revived, and that the health battles of Kate Middleton and King Charles should not be brought to screen.
The Sun newspaper quotes Gillian Anderson, who played British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the award-winning Netflix drama, saying: “It probably ended at the right spot.
It was getting too close to present day.” Specifically, regarding this year’s events which have seen both King Charles and his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton share that they are having cancer treatment, Anderson said: “Right now, it’s a moment where we understand that they have asked for a bit of peace and quiet around what they’re experiencing — and it feels like that’s the least that we can do. “I think in this instance with this latest double whammy of news, the least that people can do, is to give them a bit of a break and for them to process this as the human beings that they actually are.” The Crown finished in 2023 after six seasons, the narrative coming to a close with the 2005 wedding of the then Prince Charles to his partner Camilla Parker-Bowles.
The final series was criticised by some for its storyline concerning the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Anderson also stars in Scoop, Netflix’s drama telling how the BBC’s Newsnight team secured the interview with Prince Andrew, in which he defended his friendship with shamed entrepreneur Jeffrey Epstein.
